    How to prepare?

    Hmm. I think I can narrow that down to just being conscious. Wouldn't choice c indicate that a and b are already true? Sorry Corey. Just couldn't resist.:D

    POLL: You have time machine, where/when would you go?

    To the American colonies around 1763. And as long as I had a fast forward button to skip all of the non-events, I'd stick around til about 1790. Then, if it's within the parameters of our little experiment here, I'd bring George, Tom, John and James back with me just to watch them tell all of...

    2k trading 15:1+

    IF a firm exists which will let you trade at 50:1 with 2k, there is no way they will let you trade remote if they have any kind of a risk department. Echo requires 10k, and Bright requires more. There's a reason for it. What I'm trying to say is: if this firm exists, you don't want to be...

    STOCK TRADING

    FWIW, Typing "Trading from main street" into google gets you to the same destination. TFMS Use to be Brandon Fredrickson's gig, and Toni was affiliated in some way. Brandon still posts here occasionally, and I've always respected what he has to say. Pretty much a no BS guy, and always...

    quant skills ( VAR, greek analysis?)

    Assuming the ball is catching up with the wall (it would have to be since it eventually hits it) and moving at 60 MPH relative to the wall which is moving 120 MPH, it will then bounce backward at 60 MPH relative to the wall, and subsequently be stationary in space. Answer = Zero.

    Subprime Exec Jumps 2 Death; Wife's Body Found @ Home

    It takes COURAGE to commit suicide??!! Maybe if you're in Japan a thousand years ago pal. Leaving kids behind because of financial loss is one of the most extreme acts of cowardice. Period.

    how to strengthen my mind/brain? Does meditation work?

    I assume you meant go to "bed" extremely early. (Sorry to be picky) I do the same thing. I force myself not to get up at midnight or so, and then I get up very early and work out. Come to think of it, I wonder why I don't work out every single morning before work. I would trade much...

    What to do with an 800 rebate?

    I can't decide whether to put it into an IRA, or buy $800 worth of scotch, save it 'til election day, and drink myself to death if Hillary is elected.

    Option IV for stock

    Also I noticed you're using the Prophet Chart for your IV. I tried FCX on the TOS Charts and it gave a different picture for the IV. You'll have to add an avg, but at least it doesn't have the weird sudden drop off in IV. Hope this helps.

    Option IV for stock

    They both look similar when it comes to current value. Could just be that the history of the TOS chart was not reset after the adjustment in January while the IB chart was. Kind of like a stock chart being adjusted after a split. (Not sure what caused the adjustment. Probably just a...

    Alexander Elder's two books ?

    I think "Trading for a living" is worth it if you're still in the growing stages. I used to work with a guy who ran our firm who thought it was the "bible" when it came to trading psychology. After Elder gets past the psychological aspects, however, it's a pretty dry read in my opinion...

    hit my goal, now what???

    If you are talking about retiring, you must not love what you do. Therefore, yes. Retire. I will be trading in some way or another until I am dead. (But I also notice he still hasn't responded to any of the replies. was his post just for fun?)
